Five were captured the first day; seven,
including myself, on the next day, which
!. was Sunday. The sufferings endured
even in this brief interval from hunger,
labor and suspense were indescribable.
Andrews and two companions were K
on Monday; six more were captured near
the close Of the week, having, however,
gone no further than l had done b first
day. This left only two OF Ii whole
party at large, who, by getting u boat and
drifting down the Tennessee, got virtually
within the Union lines, but then go
ing boldly forward in the daytime were
arrested by a band of Confederate guer-
rillas and brought back some two weeks
after leaving the train. This completed
the capture of the whole party, and to this
terrible pass had Our hopeful enterprise
resolved itself! We had been told that to
fell into the enemy's power was inevita-
bic death, and we had no reason to doubt
it. Nothing in our treatment was Of such
a nature as to inspire us with hope. VIC
were chained and tied in barbarOus fash
ion, and confined in the most loathsome
dungeons, dark, filthy. and often under
ground, in Dalton, Marietta and else
where. Our food was of the coarest and
most scanty character. We were assured
everywhere that we would sOon be hung
as soOn as they could get us all gathered
in at q proper place. Gradually the whole
were assembled at Chattanooga, where
our confinement eliminated in unimaS-
Unable horrors. ! was the first one taken
there, having been captured in Lafayette,
Ga, twenty-five miles away, the second
day out. l will describe somewhat min
utely my entrance into that terrible place,
which msy serve as a specimen Of other
prisons We endured in the south.

CHAPTER XII.
A CAR.

JAN
But for the wetness of the day all his
efforts even Yet would have been foiled.
We now did what had been in the mind
OF Andrews, doubtless, for some time
past-what he might have tried even at
the Oostenaula bridge had not the inter
val between that and Calhoun been so
fearfully short. He ordered us to fire
our last car while We were running. 1t
was said easily, but was much harder to
do. Everything about the car was as wet
as it well could be. The rain fell in tor
rents, and h wood was drenched in the
tender. 1t was by no small effort and
sklllful firing that the engine fire could
be kept at the heat required for fast run
ming. But desperate fingers tore every
thing ~combustible loose from the car, and
smashed it into kindling. Some blazing
fagots were stolen from the engine and
the fire made to burn. The rapid mo-
ton with driving rain was an obstacle at
first, but as We fed up the blaze and shell
tered it as we'll as possible, it grew rap
idly, till soon but one could stay on the
car and watch it, and all the others
crowded on the tender and locomotive.
The steam was now gradually shut off
that We might come slowly upon the
bridge and be able to leave the burning
car just at the right place. We came to
q full stop at this first Chickamauga
bridge, a large one, and well covered. In
side It wa at least drier than on tho out
side, and We doubted not that with
time 1t would burn we'll. The only ques-
ton was: "Win that time be given," We
added almost the last of our oil and nearly
the last stick Of woodworking that a
WOOD station was not far .ahead, and If
this bridge could be made to burn well,
we could have all the time We wanted to
get wood and everything else. In fact we
put lie itself on this last throw, and left
ourselves, In case Of failure, hopelessly
bankrupt. For . considerable time, as it
seemed to n, though it must have been
measured By seconds rather than minutes,

delay the inevitable pursuit a little, and
give us a better opportunity to organize
our plans. The brakes Of the tender were
put on still more to diminish speed, and
the reversal was made. Here is a slight
conflict of authority. The pursuers say
that the brakes were not loOsed again; but
our engineers are equally positive. that
they We're. 1t is not material, for the re-
suit is the same. The steam power was so
low, that though the engine moved back
it was with moderate velocity, and l saw
the pursuers reverse also, and coming to a
full stop, whistle two or three times rs it
approached-a seeming whistle Of alarm,
though there was little in the approach Of
our poor General to fear; and h they
moved slowly before it for a short distance
till the two were in contact, when the
weaker stopped and the steam was shut
off. The great railroad chase was over!

HUNTED IN THE WOOD By DOGS AND MEN.

HUNTED IN THE WOODS By DOGS y F.
Dispersed in the woods with no knOwl-
edge Of the country, and no guide toward
u OWL lines; with the alarm spreading
in every direction, and the hearts Of the
people on fire with fierce resentment be-
cause Of the desperate character of our
raid, the prospect of escape for any Of our
number was slight indeed. The south
was also better prepared for hunting
down fugitives than any other people
could have been where slavery was not
an established institution. TraceklS men
over hills and mountains was NJ Evvelty;
and now for scores Of miles - e~ery d.
rectiOn from Chattanooga roads and fer
ries were guarded, cavalry galloped along
packs of negro hunting dogs explored
every wood. Unfortunately, too, a ready
mode of identifying any member of the
band who might be captured was soon
discovered. On the way south we had
represented ourselves as from Fleming
county, Ny. This story was still con
tinued. The first arrests were made the
very same day so close to, the train that
after this story had been told the men
were positively traced back to the train,
and then all who gave the same story were
known to belong to us.
We expected to die as Dor as captured;
and there was a degree of evaporation
which rendered the risk of instant shoot
ing or hanging very great. But there was
also a desire for further investigation and
discovery which would be cut short by a
sudden staying Of the victim, and this
operated to bridge over the first furious
moment Of capture, but did not prevent
the most fearful threats, and In one case
that of Parrots fearful beating. 1t
also led to rigor Of claiming and ~confine-
ment almost unparalleled.
We can only give the very briefest &C
count Of these painful incidents, and will
gladly hasten to other things.

Immediately In front ok the temple and

tending along the whole front Of the edi-

Within you encounter other rows of

The grounds of the Kenninji are beauti-
fully laid out in lawns and walks. In the
eastern part of the grounds hangs an old
bell, which for many years lay in the
river bed, buried in debris. 1t Is said
that Ye Sal, an eminent priest, attempted
to have it recovered, but the men were
unable to move it till he cried to them to
shout his name, when, Of course, it i'm
